I think a sizeable portion of those people who voted for trump are incapable of admitting they were wrong about not selecting Hillary, even if they are disappointed by trump.

The base, the topping and the whole republican indoctrination over the last 20 years has been is it is better to crash and burn with one who has been embraced by rush Limbaugh than to prosper with anyone deemed liberal by rush Limbaugh.

I voted for Gary Johnson. I knew Hillary couldn't win SC, so I did my little protest vote. Now I wish I had voted for her. It wouldn't have made a difference in the outcome (she lost SC by 10 points), but now the idea of even one more vote clearly against Trump seems worth it. Mea Culpa. I'll do better next year.

Once again, you do what so many are unable to.

Quote:What was hailed as the "Mother of All Rallies" turned out to be more like the Baby of All Rallies, drawing not even 200 people to the National Mall in Washington D.C. on Saturday. But despite being billed by its promoters as the "Woodstock of American Rallies," turnout for Saturday's "Mother of All Rallies" was low. Real low. According to reports, attendance for the conservative pro-Trump rally fell significantly short of initial expectations.

Someone cracked that they had seen bigger crowds at Whole Foods.


He should have billed it as the "Million White Man March".

I suspect at least half of Johnson's votes were against Trump.
